| Summary: | In this text, I begin from a brief presentation of Edith Stein's neglected
theory of collective identity in contemporary social ontology, in order to,
building on and resisting her conclusions, elaborate a new differentiation of
various forms of collective identity. The thesis is that there are only three
basic forms of communal living and action which have a feeling of collective
belonging and solidarity, that is, collective identity: the masses,
associations (corporations) and communities. I go on to further develop their
respective particularities through the use of the terms of mimesis,
(established) law and struggle, and by using certain insights from Hegel
regarding the nature of “objective spirit”. |
